Peter Shor, a computer scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, explains why he devised an algorithm for a quantum computer that could unravel our online data encryption.
A widely used algorithm that flags patients for extra medical care is biased against black patients, a study found.
The algorithms that underlie modern artificial-intelligence (AI) systems need lots of data on which to train. Much of that data comes from the open web which, unfortunately, makes the AIs ...
A team of researchers at MIT CSAIL, in collaboration with Cornell University and Microsoft, have developed STEGO, an algorithm able to identify images down to the individual pixel.
The report highlights the pitfalls of algorithm-driven policing, sometimes called predictive policing, which relies on crime data to predict future offenders.
Instagram said it does not use "The Algorithm" to determine the content on users' social media feed. In reality, Instagram says it has many different algorithms for Reels, Feed, and Explore.
